All too soon, possibly even tomorrow, the doors of this local restaraunt and pub will be closing for good: tonight might be your last chance to experience a slice of one-of-a-kind Benny’s pizza or a juicy delicious burger, shoot some pool, drop a record in the juke box and toast the 21 years Benny Bruno has served food and drinks in Noroton Heights.   I’ll admit that I only discovered how good the food there is when I moved back to town, and was surprised by how many families and kids go in there on weeknights after sports or on the weekends for an early burger: I’d only ever known it to be a bar.  So whether you go to grab some casual, home-cooked grub or to drink yourself silly saying goodbye, try to make it over to Benny’s tonight for a final farewell to one of Darien’s longtime establishments: you’ll be glad you did!

I have to admit that, when it comes to flyers and circulars that arrive by mail, I tend to sift through them with barely a glance and then toss them into the trash (recycling bin, of course).  But thankfully, the colors of this brochure (designed by local artist Agata Lipnicka) caught my eye and I gave it a second glance.

For some reason, in my mind, “continuing education” has always suggested an extension of one’s college studies, or some other heavily academic pursuit like an additional degree … but as I flipped through the pages of the brochure and saw classes like Tap, Pottery, Women and Money, Self-hypnosis Workshop and Fitness Boot Camp, I realized how incorrect my perception of continuing ed was!

So I’m excited to share this information with any of you who missed the brochure in the mail (non-Darien residents are welcome, too!) because for a very small cost and limited committment of time, we grown-ups can create a little space in our busy lives for some personal enrichment.  You’ve got to check it out!
